RA TMA distance jump around

You do need to press the enter solution button to make the ruler stick. Or else it will keep plotting the solution from it's memory.

Still won't work
I think I'll make a short video to demonstrate it

Here you can see how the Distance is jumping around and Auto-Crew is off

Not just distance. The bearing of the solution entry also changed to 75 and 67 degrees when you were changing range only (1m 35 sec). I can't explain that. Unless there are undocumented key-combos or simple I'm unaware of them that allow moving the ruler without mouse or entry panel. But that is speculation.

I reinstalled that and will look if the problem is gone since it's almost impossible to get a accurate solution that Way

Still the same problem

I tested it with the 688(i) and there didn't happend that problem

I've noticed that the solution will 'jump around' if the target is changing course. (I use auto TMA, I have to confess)

To me, this seems reasonable as the TMA guy tries to get an accurate solution again (he has a correct one again after a few minutes).

A jumping solution is the first indicator to go "All stop good quiet" in case the target's new course is not a favourable one for the tracker (i.e., me). (Just like Mancuso does in Red October!)
